Fixing the search for the GHC executable on WIndows #316

Closed ncreep closed 8 years ago

ncreep commented 8 years ago

This fixes a bug when searching for the GHC executable on Windows. Currently the search throws an exception and everything hangs. The fix amounts to appending the .exe suffix to the name being searched for.

LGTM! Gotta get that travis CI stuff under control soon, I dunno why it regressed in reliability.

I've no idea as well, and I can't reproduce it on my machine. The most common thing (the tests not starting at all) never happened on my Linux VM. If I was to guess, I think it's related to the fact that my VM uses only a single processor (a limitation I didn't manage to lift yet).
